Gen. Miles is likely to have a fight
with the war office for its shameful
neglect of the soldiers.

An offer to Spain: We will swap
Secretary Alger on Admiral Cervera,
provided you don’t ask too much boot.

The Republicans in nominating
their county ticket passed a slight up-
on this side of the county by not giv-
ing it a smell,

President McKinley has appointed
his five Peace Commissioners—Secre-
tary Day, Senators Davis and Frye,
Whitelaw Reid and Justice White.
pn pt
Secretary of War Alger is still get-
ting lashed by the press and from oth-
er quarters, for incompetency which
caused our brave soldiers untold suffer-
ings.

They seem to have 'em up at Altoo-
na too, the Tribune says: The scandal
of public officers having their private
work done at the expense of the city
will, we hope, be thoroughly investi
gated by the committee of councils
having the matter in charge. It is
due to the officials and their constitu-
ents that all the facts be made public.
sinensis omens
The two Republican nominees in
this county, Daly and Townsend, are
claimed on the one hand as Quay men
and on the other hand as Haslings
men. This is not very creditable, as
it is proof that they are mum and non-
commital, with intent to deceive.
We say, they are for Quay.
mmm ee—
The infamies of Quay’s last two leg-
islatures are the subject of gremark all
over the United States. By voting
for Stone, for governor, you endorse
Quay and all the steals. If Stone
elected the robbery will go on at a still
greater rate, sanctioned by Stone's sig-
nature to the steal bills.

A flour combine is talked of, taking
in the Minneapolis, Duluth and New
York mills. It will be the biggest
thing on record. The Minneapolis
mills alone turn out 14,000,000 barrels
of flour a year, and consume 60,000,000
bushels of wheat. Opposition comes
from London syndicates that have ac-
quired large interests in the fiouring
industry of Minneapolis.
emi ft ein
There are now—thirty-three years af-
ter the close of the civil war—more
than one million civil-war pensioners
on the rolls. And last year saw more
new names added than any one of the
fifteen years immediately after the
close of the war. Despite the large
number of names dropped by reason of
death, &c., the net increase of the roll
over the preceding year was 17,700,

Judge Mayer, of Lock Haven, will
have completed thirty years on the
bench by the first Monday of next
January, and has the honor of being
renominated for the fourth term and
his election conceded by the Republi-
cans of the 25th District. His deci-
sions have been rarely reversed and
his genial personality and fairness
have won him the good will of all par-
ties,

e——————
Secretary Alger gives it out that
there will be no investigation either of
himself or the bureau chiefs of his de-
partment, meaning the commissary,
the quartermaster and medical depart
ments, He says there is no need of in-
vestigation, as everyone did magnifi-
cently. He puts all blame, if any ex-
ists, on the officers in command at the
various camps. Alger also declares he
doesn’t care what Sherman says. He
proposes to brazen the whole misera-
ble business through. Possibly this is
in deflerence to his chief, who is the
responsible appointing power for the
sons of somebodies.
All the finger boards to the suffer-
ings of our soldiers from sheer neglect,
point to Alger, and the President per-
sists in keeping him at the head of the
war department,

EDITORIAL NOTES,
Sagasta thinks it might happen
there will be no peace. This over-
spunky Spaniard, with nose, hands
and feet cut off, pocket book empty,
and without credit, may think the
fighting-for-honor business, even if the
wee bit yet left of Spain be shot into
sausage meat, is a pleasant past-time.
If Bo-gassy lsn’t satisfied yet, Uncle
Sam can call him down by simply or-
dering one or two row boats with half
dozen men to push for the Spanish
coast and frighten the Dons out of
their boots and bull fights.
Our government will make no re-
duction in the number of ships yet,
linsgrove, independent Republican an-
ti-Quay candidate for assembly, has
been endorsed by the Democratic con-
vention.
This season's gold output of the
Klondike is estimated at $11,000,000,
Bhafter's collection of duties at the
port of Santiago, amounts to $102,000,
for the month of August,
There were 2300 deaths from the
plague last week in the Bombay Presi-
dency. The epidemie is spreading and
there has been a fresh outbreak in
the State of Hyderabad.
Philadelphia intends to have a great
peace jubilee about the middle of Octo-
ber. Maybe SBagasta wont have any
peace in his.

“Ready For Anything.”
Much has been said of late in praise
of the smaller of the large guns in the
batteries of our warships at the ex-
pense of the guns of twelve and thir-
teen inch calibre. Admiral SBampson
shows that this is unjust and unwar-
ranted,
“It happened at Bantiago,’’ says he,
“‘that the eight-inch guns and the rap-
id-fire guns did great execution. But
this was because they could strike the
Spaniards in the lightly armored por-
tions. At Manila the Spanish ships
were not heavily armored.”
He goes on to point out the import-
aut fact that ‘‘the armor-piercing ca-
exactly to its calibre’’—an eight-inch
gun being required to pierce eight-inch
armor, a twelve-inch gun for twelve-
inch armor, &e.
“The big guns always will be need-
ed,” he concludes. And there
escape from it. We must have in our
floating fortresses the capacity to as-
sail opposing armor of any and all
We must

thicknesses,
well. And our
must contain the rapidest of rapid-fire
guns,
We “must be ready for anything,”

GREAT AFFLICTION,
Typhold Fever Visits the Hosterman Fam-
ily at Cobarn
The following letter, written to Mrs.
Edith Shaeffer, of near this place, was
given us for publication :
Coburn, August 16, 1808 :—My Dear
Daughter Edith and Family :
This is the first letter I will try to
write after my sickness. This is the
third day I am up; the first day I
could not walk ; Mabel and Bertha
supported me and so I was moved out
on the porch and placed on a scale, I
weighed 92 pounds.
I lay four weeks, This was one of
the saddest afflictions that ever oec-
curred in my family. Why it was |
cannot understand. The Lord alone
knows, but I hope it was for our good ;
the Lord was with us all the time and
the protecting angel pever left us, I
was not afraid to die, I always prayed
the Lord’s will be done.
For three weeks I did not’eat any-
thing ; I was down in heat and fever.
The fourth week I took a little food
and so gained strength. I and moth-
er, Thomas, Lizzie and Mabel, were all
down at once with the fearful and con-
tugions typhoid fever. We sent the
children word they should not come to
see us, it was so dangerous, and yet
some came to see us. We are all out
now except mother, but we hope she
will be out in a few days,
We had a doctor, Frank of
Millheim ; we had the very best atten-
dance ; had two nurses, Al Evert
and George Ulrich, of Miilheim. A
mother can not care better fora child
than we were cared for ; may the Lord
reward them. Our nurses cost us
about §75.
Nathan had the fever about three
weeks Jetore we were laid dows, #0 he
was u oan n stren
i ty ato to the irength
fice and other business. Tome and
Bertha were the only ones not affliot-
ed and could do the cooking and out-
side work. I hope you are all well and
by these few lines will be com
forted. From your father,
T. W. HOSTERMAN,
